Casalis Earth Carpet
EARTH CARPET
EARTH
Inspired by nature.
Earth is a completely eco-friendly, 100 % biodegradable carpet. Inspired by a desire to reconnect with nature, designer Liset van der Scheer wanted to bring the experience of wandering through a forest into the interior sphere.
To realise her vision, Casalis flexed their creative and technological skills, employing an innovative, 3D tufting technique to create a 3D structured carpet that mimics the texture and appearance of moss.
In order to truly live up to the name of EARTH, Casalis resolved to use all-natural materials in the creation of the collection.
This included, organic wool, natural latex , and the plant-based dyes used to colour the carpets which have been appropriately named after earthly elements - CLOUD, FOREST, MOSS, STONE, SAND and DUST –dyed to match their namesake.

DESIGNER
LISET VAN DER SCHEER
From ' 79 onwards Liset van der Scheer has worked as industrial textile designer and colour consultant. In recent years, she has particularly specialised in carpet design.
She has applied the years of experience she gained as a yarn designer, first for knitting yarns and later for the carpet industry, to her carpet designs. She wants to work further on the basis of the expression of the yarn.
The challenge of working with textiles for her was to be found in the application of mostly traditional materials in innovative ways or the use of new materials with existing production processes. In this way she sought to extend the limits of possibility. Traditionally seen, the changes in textiles were achieved through the variation of pattern, structure and colour.
This approach did not satisfy her completely. She wanted to examine the limits by using new and for the most part unusual raw materials and existing or newly designed yarns in a totally different way.
In her designs she seeks for the interactive influence between colours. Colour is dependent on combination, structure, and the space in which a colour is located as well. Each colour has its own strength of appeal. Her career started as a colourist at a textile printing company.
Over a period of 2 years she has produced more than 500 colour patterns, and observing colour has become second nature to her. Discovering the right relationship and finding that right combination, is a matter of intuition for her, there are ultimately no words to describe this.
